Description
A disarming, captivating history of the tulip, a twentieth anniversary edition of the classic New York Times bestseller, featuring new material by the author ( Kirkus Reviews ).
Well-spun and densely detailed . . . A chronicle rather than a gardening book. — The New York Times
Greed, desire, anguish, and devotion have all played their part in the development of the tulip from a wild flower of the Asian steppes to the worldwide phenomenon it is today. No other flower has ever carried so much cultural baggage. It charts political upheavals, illuminates social behavior, mirrors economic booms and busts, and plots the ebb and flow of religious persecution.
Sumptuously illustrated from a wide range of sources, beautifully produced and irresistible, The Tulip is a joy to all who possess it.
Breathtaking. — Minneapolis Star-Tribune
Delightful. — Kansas City Star
Ravishing. — House & Garden
